Assessed value, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different records. The St. Joseph County directory lists Sturgis City and Sturgis Township separately. Confirm the property’s municipality from its property record or an official map; a Sturgis mailing address alone does not establish City limits.
Start with the notice, parcel information, or court case number you already have. The offices below serve the City or County areas shown on each card; ask them to confirm the right route for the specific property.
Local records and offices
Match the office to the record or notice in front of you. Property valuation, tax collection, recorded land documents, probate filings, and City code questions do not use one shared record search.
City of Sturgis · assessed value and assessment records

Helpful local rules
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real-estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property’s value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. The seller is generally responsible under state law. State and county exemptions are separate, so check the property’s county, sale value, and any exemption for the actual sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
The City says Community Development enforces its Property Maintenance Code; common concerns include weeds, rubbish, exterior finishes, roofs, and egress paths. If you have a City notice, ask the department about the exact address, notice, and deadline.
The City also says non-owner-occupied dwellings, including single-family and multi-family homes and hotels, must be registered and inspected annually under its published policy. That is a City rental-program rule, not a general sale-inspection rule. Confirm City jurisdiction and the property’s current status with Community Development.
